I'd like to see the history of actions taken on my JIRA Story as to who made changes to a JIRA Story and when.

Hi @Tijoriwalla_ Prashant

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

In the attached screenshot you can find the Activity part, from where you can choose from the dropdown the "History", which will show transitions and field changes. Or you can choose All to see all the history for that story.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello @Tijoriwalla_ Prashant 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

In the details view of each issue there is a tab near the bottom labeled History. That contains the information you are seeking.

Hi @Tijoriwalla_ Prashant and welcome to the community.

If you go to the Work item and click on 'More' and choose 'History' you can see who made changes to the work item and when.

Let me know if this helps,

Hello @Tijoriwalla_ Prashant ,

In Jira, you can check who made changes to a story and when by looking at the Activity section.

Just open the story, scroll down, and switch to the “History” tab. There you’ll see a timeline of all updates. including who made the change, what was changed, and the exact date/time.

If you don’t see it right away, click on the Activity dropdown (like “All”) and select History.

Hi @Tijoriwalla_ Prashant,

Welcome to the community!

As others have covered, the quickest way is to open your story and scroll down to the Activity section. Select History from the dropdown to see every field change, who made it, and the exact timestamp.

If you ever need to search across multiple issues for specific changes, JQL's CHANGED operator is handy. For example:

• status CHANGED BY currentUser() AFTER -7d finds issues where you changed the status in the last week
• assignee CHANGED FROM "oldUser" TO "newUser" finds reassignments between specific people

If you find yourself needing to track changes across many issues at once rather than one at a time, and you're open to using an app from the Atlassian Marketplace, JXL for Jira provides history columns that show field change data (like time in each status or number of transitions) directly in a spreadsheet view across all your issues.

Disclosure: I work for the team that builds JXL.

Cheers, Paul
